Rivers State Governor, Nyesom Wike has challenged PDP National Chairman, Dr Iyorchia Ayu to stop any PDP candidate from contesting the 2023 elections.

Governor Nyesom Wike who spoke to journalists in Port Harcourt on Sunday reacted to statements credited to PDP National Chairman that Ayu has the right to stop those fighting him from contesting the 2023 election.

Governor Nyesom Wike said that the PDP National Chairman has no power to stop any candidate from contesting an election.

He said, “The statement credited to the PDP National Chairman that he has the right to stop any candidate from contesting election is very unfortunate. Nobody said that Ayu should be sacked. By our constitution, there is zoning for political parties. There is no way a party candidate and the National Chairman of a party can come from the same place. Nobody is interested in sacking Dr Iyorchia Ayu, what we are saying is that the National Chairman of PDP should concede to the agreement reached that he should resign the moment the presidential candidate emerged.

”Nobody said he is sacking anybody what we are saying is that he should keep to the agreement. If you said that you are not keeping to the promise, no problem. I heard when he said that he would have stopped Ortom from contesting, a man that brought you and pleaded that you should be made Chairman. Ortom stood as a guarantee for Ayu to become the National Chairman of the PDP. I dare Ayu to stop anybody from contesting the election.

He continued, “I dare him to come to Rivers State and stop any candidate from contesting the election. Do we really want to win election? The party is really in a dilemma. The presidential candidate of the party comes from the north and if you said that you will not keep to the agreement so be it. I will not be a party to anybody that wants to use me to be relevant.

“I have been in PDP and have never left the party. I dare him, Ayu, again to stop any candidate from contesting an election. He knows that he cannot do that he has no such power. Let him come to Rivers State and stop anybody. I dare him to do that,” he said.

Sorry for Atiku and others, Mumu saboteur Pandora Pete just made it easier for APC & Tinubu.

I will not be surprised if Peter Obi is working for Bola Tinubu, the way he ditched pdp makes no sense.

Wike the slayer of pdp

I dare Atiku and Tinubu to stop copying Peter Obi

Ayu should keep kwayet and stop making things more difficult for his party .
As it stands pdp might come 3rd in the presidential election.

PDP is dead & gone in Rivers state. John Wick aka Wicked Wike, has been giving Atiku is coming hot hot.

The battle line has been drawn.

PDP is about to scatter finish


Vote Wisely

Na una dey know dead party, na una dey know regional Candidates, na una dey know candidate wey go Carry 4th,

you guys claimed obi Nassarawa rally was filled with 5 million people

Small boy

As if they av anything to offer in d first place...dunderheads, foolz.

Clash of Titans

Wicked Wike on the beat again ...


The man no wan give Ayu lead PDP any breathing space

If Ayu made that statement!! Then he acted stupidly! This isn't the best time for him to be talking anyhow!!!

Wike should get out joor. Who does he think he is? All they governor's and people following him are doing so because of the money he gave them before the presidential primaries for mobilization. The money is presently choking them. Ex Gov Dankwambo and Jonah Jang have applied the brakes in their state because they both have election to win in their state's. Is it Ikpeazu that senator Abaribe will humble in his senatorial bid. Wike go to hell, Atiku is winning with or without you.

Ayu can stop anyone from contesting and there is nothing Wike will do about it

Wike no get sense

See small pikin matter

Touch me and I push you..

Wait till after February and Ayu will repackage Pdp Rivers state

Na just time

Intrigues and drama. Wike is in a dilemma no doubt, but since Atiku has not obliged him, he may play the role of an "observer" in the presidential election in Rivers State, he could just tell the people to vote for their own "interests". Politics is a game of wits.

This guy is mad

Let the game begin...
